I have purchased a cleaner called Oil eater Cleaner De greaser and have had great luck with oil stains. I haven't tried it on dryer dried oil stains, though. It comes in concentrate and the mixing instructions are on the back of the mixer bottle.
It can be used as a carpet spot cleaner, laundry prewash, kitchen cleaner, cleans no-wax floors, fiberglass boat hulls and down the list to your driveway and engine parts.(full strength)
It's made by KAFCO international, Lt, Skokie. Illinois You can call 1-800-528-0334 for professional cleaning advice. Their web site is: http://www.oileater.com/
I've had good luck with it so far on my sons' clothes when he works on his car. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I purchased some stuff called (don't laugh) Totally Awesome from the dollar store that used to be on an infommercial (at $19.99 a pop). Our used washing machine was leaving grease/oil deposits on our clothes, which also went throught the dryer. I liberally sprayed the Awesome on the so-called set stains and left it overnight. When I washed it (with our NEW washer), the stains were gone. This stuff is great for cleaning anything with oil base (I even used it to scrub gummy transmission fluid off our garage floor).

YES IT IS, the best way to get oil and grease out of cloths is taking the to the cleaners and having them Dry cleaned only, but if you are not able to do this, wet the spots and put Dawn dish soap on the spots and rub in, then wash as you always would.
If the grease and oil is all over the cloths and your not able to dry clean them, soak the cloths in Dawn for a few hours.
Good Luck

Grease:
What to use: Baby oil, cotton ball, Napisan
How to apply: Baby oil is a mineral oil that breaks down grease. Put baby oil on a cotton ball and apply it to the grease. Rub it in circles. Then soak the garment in Napisan and hot water before washing.
Quick reference:
Grease and oil: Detergent suds. For heaving staining, soak in baby oil first.
It depends what food you have on the garment/s.
Please write in the details section what it is and I will promise I will reply.
Some examples that I have are:
beetroot
beer
chewing gum
chocolate
coffee
egg yolk
fruit juice
milk
orange juice
red wine just to name a few....

Unfortunately, once the clothes have been dried, it's thought that the stain is set. I've tried, when I didn't catch a stain before I did laundry, with no luck...

Try Lestoil -- it's an older all purpose cleaner that you can use on floors, etc. There are directions on the bottle for stain removal. It has worked on greasy stains for me even after washing something.

I've had various types of stains that I didn't notice until after I took the clothes out of the dryer. To date I've had no success in removing the stains. The heat in the dryer sets the stain in the fabric.

There is this stuff called "RIT" at the grocery store. They sell colored dyes, mainly, but they also have stuff that gets rid of those types of stains. My roommate used it and it worked really well, but I'm sorry I can't tell you if she had already washed and dried it...

Try sprinkling the grease spot with baby powder and dusting off excess. Works for me.
